Somewhere is the One

It was a devastating blow to my bestie to find out that the man she had formed an attachment with for so long was getting married. As my wise mother said, if there was never a mention of it at all, then one can never assume. She never got the courage to ask unlike what I did in 2007. Ah the what ifs and might have beens that beguile us all. 

I would like to think that she can look back at this with fondness and learn from it - to take the risk and surrender yourself by loving no matter what. Much as we want to guard our hearts, there is no such thing as putting half the effort. It must be all or nothing. 

I must pay heed to what is in my head.
